I Want to Write You a Letter

I want to write you a letter
There is so much I want to say
And though I seem to find
No words to express
Whatever that is on my mind
I think I should find a vent
To let out the pressure in my breast

I want to write you a letter
Although I spied you from a far
Setting my precious hut on fire
And driving my sickly animals away

I want to write you a letter
Even though the air’s full of your threats
And you also seem to hesitate
Even when I openly display
My readiness to embrace you
In spite of your heart
Crawling with ugly bugs

I want to write you a letter
Write you a letter of peace
Of peace that would heal
Heal the festering wounds
Wounds inflicted by you and me

I will write you a letter
A letter that would bring us together
And I have chosen to do it
Because one of us has to give in
And I hope you’ll be brave enough to agree
To overcome the vain pride
And give us a chance at life
For I can see it in your eyes
You need this as much as I do.

Beautiful poem! yes, I love letters too...specially from someone who loves writing them :) I like this specially :
I want to write you a letter
Write you a letter of peace
Of peace that would heal
Heal the festering wounds
Wounds inflicted by you and me

Letters express really so much from us, more than any conversation can do!
